Try NSAIDs first.: Osteoarthritis involving the hip can be very disabling, especially when it is severe. Nsaids and pain relievers can help but if your arthritis is severe then a hip replacement may be the only viable option even at age 49.

Maybe injections: Sometimes the hip joint can be injected with anti-inflammatory medication.

Many things...: Physical therapy, OTC medications such as tylenol (acetaminophen) and non-steroidals, weight reduction and activity modifications are the the mainstay of treatment before considering an operation. Treatments that have not worked initially may work in combination with other modalities.
